Earlier reports had indicated that both were scheduled to land and possibly photograph the surface. Mars 4 and 5, on the other hand, were orbiters designed to relay data back to earth from the Martian terrain. Thus, the Russians may still be able to use their single successful orbiter, Mars 5, as a radio link if at least one of the landers succeeds in its assignment...
Inside, Walton has converted a portable bar into a health-food stand: bottles of apple juice, jars of honey, and sacks of fruit replacing the bourbon and Scotch. An enormous water bed dominates one corner, and a photograph of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of Transcendental Meditation, sits in a frame on his desk. The only visitors Walton receives are "the friends who accept me for what I am."

Looking earthward, the astronauts observed strange, swirling eddies in warm ocean currents that are apparently involved in the exchange of heat between water and atmosphere, an important factor in global weather and climate...
...Detroit policemen on their downtown beat were ticketing a man peddling rings on the sidewalk. Then up popped this limey photographer who kept snapping away at them. Asked for identification, the fellow could only produce an out-of-date press card. At headquarters, the suspicious cops satisfied themselves that "Tony Charles Snow-down [sic]" was not the peddler's accomplice. They issued him a temporary press card and prepared to let him go. Then someone did a double take. Hastily, Princess Margaret's husband, Lord Snowdon, was whisked into Police Commissioner Philip G. Tannian's office...
